Mrs. Gilkyson writes that Albert Barnes has dismissed BR from the Barnes Foundation. His situation is not good. "Mr. Russell is convinced that no college or university would dare to have anything to do with him, and of course the middle of the year is a hopeless time to make a change." "He hopes to get along by having a few lecture engagements until summer, when his new History of Philosophy would be finished."

John F. Lewis, Jr., has urged her to tell Aydelotte of the Russells' situation.
